The Psychology behind putting on an Event......http://www.djforums.com/forums/showthread.php?60350-The-Psychology-behind-putting-on-an-Event&goto=newpost
Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:38:42 GMTHi, In the UK I've been running my own clubnight since 2011. I am the only DJ. I use big screen visuals, music videos and mashed up with film clips etc, I play Indie music.

I have now sold-out venues 48 times, on occasions in advance. I have 5 venues/cities in my roster that i do 3 times per year each. The venues are small, 300-ish capacity. Taking £6 per entry. 2 of the venues arent selling out and running around 70% capacity.

My night has been considered a 'show' and something different in the cities that i play in. The sellouts suggest i'm doing something correct.

However, i feel i am maybe selling my clubnight too short ? I feel that i could be playing bigger venues but concerned that i'm deluded

Here's my thoughts about visiting new cities....

1. If you seen an event being promoted that youve never heard about, and its playing a small 300 capacity venue, only charging £6, could that may give a pre-conceived perception of the quality of the event ?

2. However, If you saw an event being promoted that you've never heard about and its playing a larger 800 capacity, well respected venue, charging £8....

Would Psychology suggest that your more likely to visit the event if its in the larger venue, as 'it must be good if its playing in there' ?

Any thoughts welcome....

Also, thoughts on taking my night up a level ?

Mojo

PS: I know there are techno clubs etc that are 300 capacity and are brilliant, lets put that aside for the purposes of this discussion.

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:13:08 GMTHey ya'll, new here, I am a former turntablist, house, progressive stuff, well skilled, played out for a while at various venues & clubs 95-1999, sold my decks & bought a lot of studio equipment & started messing with that for a couple years, then my ex wife came along & ruined any chance of a music career. I ended up raising 3 kids by myself, never had time for music so I sold all of studio gear & took my kids motocrossing & raced for several years. Fast forward damn near 20 years, my body can't take snowboarding or dirtbikes anymore & I want to get back into playing around with music. I know there are many threads but it's overwhelming searching them so why not start another one?

I just want to mess around again, I don't even have a music catalog, I'd be starting from scratch. I am on the fence about getting some used mkII's as I have a lot of vinyl, but it's dated & once nostalgia wears off who knows if I'll touch them again but I could use those as a Serato controllers too. I am out of the loop on decks too so not even sure what marks they're at or which ones I should be looking at?

Leaning towards Numark ns7 ii or iii. Being able to play with a motorized plate is a must. With that, are there are other options I am not thinking of? Won't be traveling so rigidity is not a must. This is just to have something to do besides video games & the endless amounts of sex my wife gives me in the winter. I boat all summer & wake surf so probably won't hardly touch them in the summer, unless I drag them up to our lake & piss my neighbors off. What are some thoughts on this? Price really isn't an issue but I am not so sure I want to drop 3k on a proper set up but I won't play with it if I go cheap either.

Wed, 23 Jan 2019 21:26:51 GMTI have no idea where to post this or if it is allowed but I'm looking for a artists to collaborate with. I'm starting up a new YT channel for nail related things (yeah yeah shush, I'm a nail tech) and I need some music. Please let me know if you are interested in featuring your non-vocal or very light vocal tracks on my channel for videos. Links and info will be included in video and description so you can get the credit. I'm sorry to say there are no monetary offerings at this time other than wherever your links lead to.
